"Having another bad day but I have been couple months now since I have had medicine for my PsA. I was taking Xeljanz and it just wasn't doing well so my rheumatologist had me stop taking it for a month to be sure it wasn't working. Now she is prescribing Orencia but there had to be lots of form and approvals before I could actually start taking it. My Part D company has approved it with a $2,000+ per month copay. Obviously I cannot do that so we are applying to the patient assistance program for help. Problem now is that the girl who works for doctor sent applicationo forms to wrong company. She sent them to Xeljanz rather than Orencia. I finally questioned it on Friday and learned the problem. The forms have not been sent to the person in the practice who handles and they have been sent in but she says it will be 2-3 weeks before we hear anything."
